Surgery fund for Chidi: a craniotomy in Ogbomosho

In May I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Ogbomosho Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $920, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $550 short. Doctors at Ogbomosho Orthopedic Institute told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $920 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $550 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
